Hello Iowa Child Care Programs,

Child Care Resource & Referral (CCR&R) data tells the story of child care within Iowa. Did you know your legislators and community leaders use CCR&R’s data to make important state & community decisions about child care?

Rate information is kept anonymous and used for reporting purposes. Programs can use CCR&R rate information to set competitive rates in their community. The Iowa Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) uses rate data to conduct Market Rate Surveys. Market rate information collected is used to set Child Care Assistance (CCA) payment rates to child care providers and programs.

In addition, keeping your profile up-to-date ensures accurate marketing of your child care program to parents looking for child care. To match your program to the needs of families we need to know important information like hours of operation, ages served, current contact phone numbers and email addresses.

Within the next week, you will receive an email from: support@worklifesytems.org

This email will contain a link for you to log in to your account. Please log in and make sure the information for your program is current and that vacancies and rates are updated. For a how-to on how to update your profile, please visit our webpage Update Your File. If you have any additional questions, please reach out to your CCR&R Child Care Consultant. Remember you can update your information at any time. Visit your profile frequently to make sure your profile is current.

Your data is so important to telling Iowa’s child care story. Update your profile today to ensure we have your most recent and accurate information. We want to make sure we are providing the best picture of what’s going on in child care across Iowa, so our legislators and community can make the best-informed decisions.

Thank you!
Your friends at CCR&R
